Outline of Workshop
• Requirements / Concept (Mitch) • Definition of augmented reality (Cesar) • Application (Mitch) • The exercise (Peter)
Requirements and Concept
• Develop air monitoring exercise in real time • Create a “real life” scenario/more realistic
experience • Simulates actual air monitoring equipment • Simple user interface and set up • Learner experience with “air monitor” • Learner decision making
• Detect and classify hazards • Delineate exclusion, contamination,
and support safety zones • Operate hazard sensors and
interpret readings • Implement communications
protocols • Single learner, teams, or multiple
simultaneous teams • All while wearing PPE
Sensor behaves as ifthe hazards were real
because the simulation is aware of reality
Each Beacon Simulates a Hazard • Programmable strength and dispersion • Chemical or radiological • Mobile app displays exposure readings
accounting for distance to ALL hazards • Readings continuously updated
even as learners and hazards move

Simulator App
A More Sophisticated Version of Another Augmented Reality App
Time for Product to Gain 50 Million Users
Training Exercise
1. The beacons 2. The app 3. The experience
Install the App
Conclusions • Teach learner decision-making
– Any scenario requiring air monitoring – Field exercises, drills, indoors, outdoors
• Easy to use and reconfigurable – Single-user or multi-user exercises
• Inexpensive – Works with your existing training assets – Use a dedicated phone, or BYOD – Internet not required in the field
Try It in Your Training! • Between now and March 2020, NIEHS grantees
gets three hazards of their choice, the app, and three hours of videocall support for $400.
